Additional FAQs on pages 8 and 9.
Answer
– Measurements: Transmission/reflection or S21 and S11, magnitude and phase
– Calibrations: CalReady, OSL, response, and enhanced response cal
– Option 211 adds full 2-port S-parameter capability
– Measurements: All four S-parameters (S11, S21, S22, S12), magnitude and phase
– Calibrations: CalReady, OSL, response, enhanced response, and full 2-port cal
– S11/S21 in time domain. To get time domain data for all four S-parameters and full 2-port cal, order Option 211
– View both time and frequency domain data at the same time
– Low-pass, impulse, and band-pass modes
– Minimum, normal, and maximum window
– Gating
– Measurements: DTF (dB, linear, VSWR), return loss and DTF, return loss (dB), and 1-port cable loss, 2-port
insertion loss
– TDR (linear, ohm). TDR measurements require Option 215, in addition to Option 305.
– Calibrations: CalReady, OSL, and response cal
– N992xA with Option 308: 1-port cable trimming, 2-port transmission
– N992xA with Options 308 and 211: 1-port cable trimming, 2-port transmission, A/B and B/A
– Note: A/B and B/A measurements require an external source
CAT mode's basic measurements are similar to VNA measurements. The features listed below are often used for
distance-to-fault cable testing and are only available in CAT mode:
– 3-peak marker tracking for finding faults for DTF measurements
– 1-port cable loss
– Cable type selection and editing, includes the cable's velocity factor and loss
– QuickCal is included with Option 112.
– 1-port and enhanced response QuickCal with a base analyzer
– 1-port, enhanced response, and 2-port QuickCal with a full 2-port analyzer (one that has Option 211).
– QuickCal is most accurate for DUTs with 7/16 and Type-N connectors and measurement uncertainties are
provided for frequencies 18 GHz. Reduced accuracy for DUTs with 3.5 mm (m), SMA (m), or other male coaxial
connectors; performance is unspecified. QuickCal is not recommended for DUTs with 3.5 mm (f), SMA (f), or
other similar female connectors. QuickCal is not applicable to waveguide.
